"The length of the valley is about sixty miles. Including the time it takes our army to arrive in the valley and out of the valley to reach the first city, it is estimated that it will take four to five days. If we march by force, it may be faster."

"The number of cities in the southern valley may be between 15 and 30, and they are occupied by different lords. The number of lords is unknown, but it is certain that several big lords are at war, and there is smoke everywhere."

Hua Mulan reported to Chu Tian the intelligence collected by the Iron Eagle scouts, and basically completed the investigation of the situation in the southern valley.

It is not clear how many cities there are and who the lords are fighting.

The war eagle is not a human being, and the intelligence it can detect is very limited.

While Hua Mulan was reporting, she glared angrily at Ekaterina who was rubbing Chu Tian's shoulders, wishing she could kill her.

This shameless wavy girl actually seduces her lord from time to time.

Chu Tian was also a little surprised by Yekaterina's change in recent days, but Chu Tian believed that the reason why Yekaterina took the initiative to please him was to get Chu Tian to release her as soon as possible, so he didn't care much.

"The general believes that on the battlefield, the lord should not indulge in beauty."

Hua Mulan took the initiative to remonstrate.

"..."

Chu Tian could no longer be wronged, he had done nothing, but Ekaterina took the initiative to please him, so she rubbed his shoulders.

But does Hua Mulan really understand what it means to be truly addicted to beauty?

"What's wrong with being obsessed with beauty? Can't we solve our needs by going to war?"

Yekaterina deliberately angered Hua Mulan, and also deliberately approached Chu Tian from behind, with her long wavy hair almost falling on Chu Tian's shoulders.

Hua Mulan finally couldn't help it, and the Tang sword was three inches out of its sheath.

"Okay, Mulan, please go out, and Ekaterina, please go out too."

Chu Tian couldn't help but have a headache when he saw that the two people were full of gunpowder.

He said to Catherine: "Even if you deliberately please me, in order to ensure that I can go south in peace, I will not release you as soon as possible."

"snort!"

Catherine was angry and turned around and left the tent.

Hua Mulan was also kicked out by Chu Tian. She and Ekaterina looked at each other and disliked each other.

Hua Mulan provoked: "If Sister Xia were here, she wouldn't let you go."

Yekaterina argued: "I really want to compete with her. No matter who she is, she can guarantee that she will be able to respect your lord? If I, Yekaterina, want to get someone, I will use force.

Conquer him and make him surrender!"

Chu Tian drove away the two women who were at war with each other and could finally think about the next strategy.

The space for northward development has been blocked by the Grand Duchy of Moscow. There are Zhao Long and Huma in the east, and Chutian does not want to compete with them for the east.

There are 15-30 cities in the south. Chutian estimates that after the national war, he will not be able to occupy so many cities.

In other words, the southern valley is enough for Chutian to develop, and Chutian only needs to ensure that it gets first place.

"Send an order to the whole army. Except for the troops left to defend the city, all the rest of the main troops will go south."

After ensuring the safety of the rear, Chutian issued an order to cross the valley and reach the plain or basin south of the valley.

There are only a few thousand people left in the main force of the Eastern Han Dynasty in Chutian, and the high-level troops recruited on the battlefield of the national war have not yet been trained.

This time when he went south, he led 8,000 Han troops, 30,000 servants, and 20,000 low-level infantry to transport food.

After Hua Mulan calmed down, she realized that she had been angered by Catherine and had offended her lord a little. In order to please Chu Tian, ​​she volunteered to be a vanguard and clear the way for the army in front.

"In this national war, the servant army contributed a lot."

Chu Tian's army of servants included many prisoners from Southeast Asian countries.

After a day's march, the army arrived at the valley. Hua Mulan's cavalry took the lead in entering the valley to conduct reconnaissance to prevent an ambush.

Then Chutian's army followed, and the baggage train stretched for twenty miles.

In the plains south of the valley, the shouts of killing shook the earth. The English longbowmen fired arrows and thousands of peasant soldiers were shot dead!

The peasant army lacked armor and shields and was hit by the arrows of the English archers with almost no chance.

The English Longbowmen of Edward the Black Prince were just mechanically bending their bows and nodding arrows, and the iron arrows pinned the peasant army to the ground.

A peasant army general in charge was shot by two arrows at the same time and died on the spot. The entire ground was almost completely covered with arrow feathers.

Facing the fierce rain of arrows, the peasant army's offensive was thwarted, they fell back, trampled on each other, and hundreds of people died under their own feet.

The knights of the Teutonic Knights are gathering. At the front are 120 knights in full armor. Their armor covers the whole body, leaving only a few gaps, like an iron can, indestructible.

Even a compound bow can hardly penetrate full body armor.

This kind of armor is also very expensive.

The Teutonic Knights planned to launch a desperate heavy cavalry charge with 120 knights in full armor as one banner, plus 7 banners of Teutonic knights behind them.

Most of the Teutonic knights were equipped with robes and chain mail, armed with lances and swords, and galloped on horseback with great momentum!

The black cross on their white robes brings death!

The temporarily recruited peasant army was defenseless against the heavy cavalry attack of the Teutonic Knights, and the defense line was easily broken through!

The knight in full armor showed his sharp eyes from the iron jar, and the knight's sword in his hand easily chopped down a soldier who broke into the king's bandit camp!

"The soldiers of the East are nothing more than that."

The Teutonic noble knights crushed through the sea of ​​peasant soldiers, and countless peasant soldiers were knocked down and slaughtered.

"The Teutonic Knights are a powerful opponent. I didn't expect them to be so rich. They could assemble nearly a thousand heavy cavalry, and among them were knights in full armor."

The French lords were wary of the Holy Roman Empire lords.

Although they are now joining forces, in the main world, the relationship between France and Germany is not very good, and the two sides are one of the powerful enemies competing for Europe.

"Let Eastern civilization see the edge of our French knights!"

The French lord drew his knight's sword and ordered Joan of Arc to lead the knights to attack.

The heavy horse hoofs trampled the soil, leaving conspicuous horse hoof prints. Not to be outdone, the French noble knights charged towards the Eastern Han peasant army on the opposite side.

The three European lords each invested 30,000 troops, for a total of 90,000 troops to deal with the Eastern Han lords.

The vast majority of the 90,000 people were low-level soldiers recruited on the battlefields of the national war. The real main force of the battle was the knights, elite infantry, longbowmen, and crossbowmen they brought, and the number was less than 20,000.

However, even with less than 20,000 elite troops, combined with other low-level troops, the three European lords are confident of defeating Zhang Dao's 250,000-strong army!

Facts have proved that they were indeed close to success. The peasant army lacked damage to the charging knights and could not break through the full body armor of the Teutonic knights.

Zhang Dao looked at the defeated peasant army with a heavy expression, waiting for the knights to fall into the trap he had set.

When the speed of the knights dropped because they were trapped in the sea of ​​people, Zhang Dao ordered the sergeant to beat the drum, and he also activated his own characteristics!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The three-way drum sounded, and all the knights who were fighting on the battlefield felt that the peasant army of the Eastern Han Dynasty was changing, and their morale was rising rapidly!

"Heaven is dead, Huang Tian shall stand!"

"Heaven is dead, Huang Tian shall stand!"

The peasant army of the Eastern Han Dynasty looked wildly in their eyes, shouted slogans, and launched a massive counterattack!

Not only does Zhang Dao have the characteristics of a "great virtuous teacher", Zhang Dao also has other characteristics that can inspire the peasant army, prompting the peasant army to burst into powerful combat effectiveness!

The increase in combat effectiveness of the peasant army can only last for a period of time, but it can make a comeback!

The knights and soldiers who attacked the peasant army of the Eastern Han Dynasty were counterattacked by the peasant army, and the number of casualties increased sharply.

If you kill ten peasant troops, you can kill one knight, and you have already earned it!

A knight in full armor was pulled off his horse by the fanatical Yellow Turban Army because his horse stopped. What awaited him was an iron ax or a giant hammer and other blunt weapons!

Although full-body armor is difficult to break through, the impact of blunt objects is enough to seriously injure or kill the noble knight in full-body armor!

Zhang Dao dared to go to war with three major European lords. He was somewhat confident in himself, otherwise he would not have easily allowed his 250,000 troops to come and die.

The counterattack of more than 200,000 peasant troops was extremely fierce. More than a hundred knights were outnumbered, and thousands of infantry were overwhelmed by the peasant troops.

The Black Prince Edward was using a longbow to kill the crazy Eastern Han peasant army, but the number of peasant troops was too great. Even with his arms numb, it was difficult for him to clear out such a large number of peasant troops.

The knights of the Teutonic Order were surrounded.

The knight's sword in Joan of Arc's hand was slashing, and her wrist was a little sore and numb. The peasant army was surrounded by swords and spears, and it was difficult to destroy them all.

According to this trend, the legions of the three major European lords will be submerged in the vast sea of ​​Eastern Han peasant armies!

They underestimated the lords of the Eastern Han Dynasty too much.

Although the lords of the Eastern Han Dynasty were relatively scattered during this national war, each lord had strong combat effectiveness.

Lian Po's army withstood the siege of the anti-Eastern Han Dynasty alliance for a month without falling into the city, while Zhang Dao tried to conquer the three major European lords on his own!

"If I can defeat the three major European lords at the same time, I will become famous all over the world."

Zhang Dao saw a large number of casualties in the legions of the three major European lords, and knew that the balance of the war had tilted towards him.

"For the sake of France, I will wait for death!"
